20R rebuild blues

Ok I have a 20R that I am rebuilding. I have been in Saudi Arabia since I tore the motor down. That has been about one year. I am having problem putting it together. I know crazy me. I know where every thing goes on it but the BIG pile of bolts I have. Lol If any one can give me a helping idea that would be great. Or any pointers that would be awesome too. Just can't find any one around here to help me. So what you can do I really would like that. Thanks Michael

somebody would probably help you but we don't know what part of the states you are in. In the northwest there are local forums, where I'm sure somebody could give you a a hand.

hmm.. alot of the parts have to go back exactly where they came from.. cant really help you on that other than saying you should probably buy brand new stuff if you dont know where exactly each piece came from.

Oh yeah all my parts are new. I know where they all go just the bolts giving me a problem. I think I can figure it all out. No problem! If it was a small block Ford or better yet a Chevrolet that would be no problem. Thanks Michael

Update!! I got it complete. It really was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Only problem I had was the chain guides. The guide that is bent was a Lil too long where it bolts on. It was sticking up just a Lil so the head would not bolt on. It was a simple fix with a file. I am just waiting on the Barnwell Mountain run that is going to be on March 7. So all my parts are new including the alternator and starter, all the way down to the brakes. I really hope and praying nothing will go wrong. I have future plans on getting some gears to match my 33" tires. That will complete the build for what I want. Thanks all for the moral support and help. Thanks Michael
